Some pretty scummy people hanging out in and around the place. Exterior doors weren't locked, pool out of service and key cards didn't work. I think there are people who live there long term.

Pool was out of order and building was under construction im guessing due to the multiple holes in the property, but they all looked cut out like they were in progress of an upgade perhaps? Other than that, pretty basic continental breakfast and very helpful staff.

Not clean, holes cut in the walls, pool & hot tub were down. Continental breakfast was a joke! Waffle irons in the pics but none there. Breads & pastries not filled & not enough for our family. Cereal everywhere! Staff was very nice but no one at the front desk. Beds were comfortable & clean. Bathroom was clean. No smoke detector, wires hanging out of the wall & capped off. It was a place to lay our head in our family emergency situation.
